I'm a bit confused regarding the commit message and the code in the patch.
The commit message talks about enabling speed auto-negotiation, while the code
never refers to any such thing. Instead all we have are settings for manipulating
interrupt masks to enable PHY interrupts. I think some additional information is
needed to connect A and B together here.

A second, more minor nit is that the commit title never refers to link
auto-negotiation, but refers to this as a bug fix - which is also correct. If
this is primarily a bug fix, please include a fixes line if possible, but please
also refer to auto-neg in the title if possible too.
